That's odd (BMW post). All come with spare tire (jack and standard tools). Meron pa ngang trunk-mounted tool box ang mga BMW units. If there may be some distinction sa kind of spare tire, others (usually CBU units) come with DONUT TIRES while locally assembled in either alloy wheel or steel rims but in full-sized tire.

BMWs now come with run-flat tires. No spare. You can tell if your BMW has run-flats... they ride like **** compared to regular tires... though on newer models with run-flats, the ride is not as bad, anymore. It was worst on the first 1-series cars and X3s with run-flats, though the run-flats on the 320i I tried last would still shake the fillings out of your teeth when you went over cobbles.

MINIs overseas come with run-flats. The local ones, at least the non-Cooper S variants come with regular tires with a spare. I was told the Cooper S's exhaust interferes with the mounting point for the spare, which is why they couldn't fit one. But instead of run-flats, they give you the regular Bridgestones and a can of fix-a-flat, much like Mazda does with the MX-5. This saves both the customer and the dealer from the additional cost and hassle of having run-flats.

If you really need to know, you can ask. But most non-luxury cars come with spare tires. Most of them now use donut tires to save space, but these are safe to use, even for distances of 100 kilometers, as long as you keep your speeds low (under 80 km/h).
